How to Use Paypal in Afghanistan

By: Assad Ullah Saffa

If you are working as an Affiliate marketer, Freelancer, Blogger, or somehow monetizing online, you probably need to use PayPal in order to get paid.

In Afghanistan, most people use Google Adsense on their websites for monetizing online, and the payment is via check or PayPal, but as we all see PayPal doesn’t support Afghanistan.

In the past 13 years, Afghanistan had remarkable growth in banking sectors, but still, we have some banking guarantee problems. That is why PayPal is not supporting Afghanistan Banking System.

So in this case don’t worry if we live in a country that is not supported by PayPal we can still use it as a payment method to get paid.

In order to get paid by PayPal, you need a third party to transfer money from PayPal to your Bank Account or your Prepaid Card.

Here is the instruction of using a third-party (Payoneer) for withdrawing money from PayPal to our own Bank Account:

  1. If you don’t have a verified PayPal account, Sign up to PayPal and then chose the United States or Canada as your residence country.
  2. Go to this third-party website and Sign Up.
  3. Chose Afghanistan as your country and upload your National ID Card (Tazkera) or Passport.
